The actual compliation is no problem, but there are a couple of gotchas concerning the access(2) system call; it seems that access(2) says you can't access files on R/O NFS mounted file systems, even if you're just try to read the file. When compiling fonts, you need to use ``dxfc'' rather than ``bdftosnf,'' since DEC has their own format. Other than that, it works fairly well, given that we're running UWS 2.0, not 2.1. I will be using a PMAX this fall, so you'll probably see improved DECwindows support then. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
